I love it when my medical procedures are done on a schedule of "squeeze as many in as possible". What a train wreck.
Not sure how to read this. Are you saying that the abortion clinics putting in the overtime and effort to see as many people before a pretty much outright abortion ban is a train wreck, or that this ban in general causing this insanity is a train wreck?
I'm not blaming the staff for doing what they can - they're trying their hardest to make the best of a bad situation. But medical procedures are best performed by professionals who are rested and calm, not working overtime/triaging under stress because they're trying to handle as many patients as possible before the door closes. And yes, the ban that sets the stage for this whole situation is a train wreck. The policymakers have created an unnecessary emergency among other criticisms.
I'm presuming the latter, It's pretty bad all around.
